Bull dust 2/2

Got a thin skin? Then look elsewhere. Post a link to an image that you've made, and invite others to offer their critiques. Honesty is encouraged, but please be positive in your constructive criticism. Flaming and just plain nastiness will not be tolerated. Please note that this is not an area for you to showcase your images, nor is this a place for you to show-off where you have been. This is an area for you to post images so that you may share with us a technique that you have mastered, or are trying to master. Typically, no more than about four images should be posted in any one post or thread, and the maximum size of any side of any image should not exceed 950 px.

Please note that image critiquing is a matter of give and take: if you post images for critique, and you then expect to receive criticism, then it is also reasonable, fair and appropriate that, in return, you post your critique of the images of other members here as a matter of courtesy. So please do offer your critique of the images of others; your opinion is important, and will help everyone here enjoy their visit to far greater extent.

Also please note that, unless you state something to the contrary, other members might attempt to repost your image with their own post processing applied. We see this as an acceptable form of critique, but should you prefer that others not modify your work, this is perfectly ok, and you should state this, either within your post, or within your signature.

Images posted here should conform with the general forum guidelines. Image sizes should not exceed 950 pixels along the largest side (height or width) and typically no more than four images per post or thread.

Hi Steve - I think out of the three posts you have (so far) from this the first in this post is the standout - for me anyway :)

The timing on this one is spot on, as is the angle the bull is to you in relation to the angle the rider is. I think it's helped also by the relatively uncluttered background.

All in all looks like a great day out, and a whole lot of action :)

I think #2 is the best - it has the best perspective IMO, and the action is in the immediate foreground, with onlookers gazing directly at the action.

Great pic. :D

Thanks for these comments guys. The two photos you have picked to comment on are probably my favorite two from the day. The first one has a really good angle, showing off how broad and powerful the animal is. I just wish in the second one had a little more room on the right hand side, as it was a little bit tight, but I think the square crop helped .
